In the twelfth year, he started to purify Judah and Jerusalem by removing the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved images, and the cast idols. 4 In his presence, they tore down the altars of the Baals, and he cut down the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved images, and the cast idols, crushing them into powder, and he scattered the dust over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. 5 He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and he purified Judah and Jerusalem. 6 He did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around. 7 He tore down the altars and the Asherah poles, smashed the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

• 2 Kgs 23:4-9 : 4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second rank, and the gatekeepers to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the objects made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and scattered their ashes on the graves of the people. 5 He also removed the idolatrous priests appointed by the kings of Judah, those who burned incense at the high places in the cities of Judah and in the areas around Jerusalem. He removed those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon, the constellations, and all the host of heaven. 6 He brought out the Asherah pole from the house of the Lord to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, burned it in the Kidron Valley, ground it to ashes, and threw the ashes on the graves of the common people. 7 He tore down the houses of the male cult prostitutes that were in the temple of the Lord, where the women wove coverings for Asherah. 8 He brought all the priests from the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba. He also destroyed the high places at the gates—the one at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which was on the left of the city gate. 9 However, the priests of the high places did not go up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem but ate unleavened bread among their fellow priests. 10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so no one could make his son or daughter pass through the fire to Molech. 11 He removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun at the entrance to the house of the Lord, near the room of Nathan-Melech, the eunuch, which was in the colonnades. He also burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 12 The king tore down the altars that were on the roof of Ahaz's upper chamber, the ones the kings of Judah had made. He also destroyed the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courtyards of the house of the Lord. He removed them from there, ground them to dust, and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley. 13 The king also defiled the high places east of Jerusalem, on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built for Ashtoreth, the detestable idol of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the detestable idol of Moab, and for Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites. 14 He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with human bones. 15 Even the altar at Bethel, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat had made, the one who caused Israel to sin—even that altar and the high place he tore down. He burned the high place, crushed it to dust, and burned the Asherah pole that was there. 16 Josiah turned, saw the graves that were on the hill, and sent men to take the bones from the graves. He burned them on the altar and defiled it according to the word of the LORD, as the man of God had proclaimed, who had foretold these things. 17 He asked, 'What is this monument that I see?’ The men of the city replied, 'It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done to the altar at Bethel.' 18 He said, 'Leave it alone; let no one disturb his bones.' So they spared his bones, along with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria. 19 Josiah also removed all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger. He did to them just as he had done at Bethel. 20 He slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
